DHS Finally Declare Antifa ‘Terrorist Organization’

Fact checked by The People's Voice Community
DHS label Antifa a domestic terrorist organization

The Department of Homeland Security has finally declared Soros-funded far-left group Antifa a domestic terrorist organization. 

On the DHS website, the so-called “anti-fascist” group is described as a “subset anarchist movement” who focus on issues “involving racism, sexism and anti-semitism,” by inciting violence across the United States.

DHS reports: Self-described Antifa groups have been established across the United States and in several major cities, including New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and San Francisco. A majority of New Jersey-based anarchist groups are affiliated with the Antifa movement and are opposed to “fascism,” racism, and law enforcement. Antifa groups coordinate regionally and have participated in protests in New York City and Philadelphia. There are three loosely organized chapters in New Jersey, known as the North Jersey Antifa, the South Jersey Antifa, and the HubCity Antifa New Brunswick (Middlesex County).

In December 2016, a group known as the Antifascist Action-Nebraska engaged in a doxing campaign against a prominent member of American Vanguard, a white supremacist organization. The group published his personal information on several social media platforms and posted fliers on the University of Nebraska Omaha campus, calling for his expulsion.

On March 28, a small fight occurred between Antifa members and supporters of the US President during a rally in Seaside Heights (Ocean County).  Because of advance publicity about the event on social media, local and state law enforcement officers were able to keep altercations to a minimum.

ANTIFA: INCITING VIOLENCE TOWARD FAR-RIGHT EXTREMISTS

Violent confrontations between Antifa members and white supremacists—as well as militia groups—will likely continue because of ideological differences and Antifa’s ability to organize on social media. In the past year, Antifa groups have become active across the United States, employing a variety of methods to disrupt demonstrations.

On April 18, following the Patriots Day Free Speech Rally in Berkeley, California—which turned violent—an Antifa member wrote, “Every Nazi that gets punched is a victory. . . . We must realize that these days are going to become more and more common, unless we put a nail in this coffin once and for all.”  On March 29, as a response to an Antifa post on social media, a national militia group wrote in an online article, “Whenever their kind [Antifa] assumes power, individual freedom, including of speech and worship, is brutally suppressed.”

Beginning in March, the Philadelphia Antifa Chapter used Facebook to encourage followers to disrupt a “Make America Great Again” event in Philadelphia, resulting in over 300 participants. Antifa’s presence resulted in law enforcement shutting down the event early for safety concerns. As of May, a manual on how to form an Antifa group—posted on a well-known Anarchist website in February—had approximately 13,500 views.

On February 1, the University of California Berkeley canceled a controversial speaker’s appearance following a protest by approximately 100 Antifa members. In response, far-right extremists assembled at a free-speech rally, which Antifa members disrupted, resulting in 10 arrests and seven injuries. Additionally, on April 15, Antifa and far-right extremists clashed at a demonstration, leading to 23 arrests and 11 injuries.

RECENT ANARCHIST AND WHITE SUPREMACIST CONFRONTATIONS

On February 11, members of the 211 Crew/211 Bootboys, a white supremacist gang, allegedly attacked two brothers at a New York City bar after seeing a “New York City anti-fascist sticker” on the back of one of the victim’s cellphones, according to New York authorities.

In June 2016, 300 counter-protesters, including anarchist extremists, attacked 25 members of the white supremacist Traditionalist Worker Party with knives, bottles, bricks, and concrete from a construction site while rallying at the California State Capitol in Sacramento, injuring 10.

  1. I think the Antifa groups are fighting for just causes, such as being against racism, than a xenophobia, and other evils that man has conjured up in his mind. I think many of the moralistic things they’re fighting about should be aided by all sane decent folks. Maybe the Antifa people are not perfect in their tactics, but may God bless them, and protect all Antifa protesters.

    • May God punish them for their terrorism. If you need to beat up people to make a point, you become irrelevant and nobody listens to you anymore and that is why they are violent.

    • Sorry but Antifa people are just fascists claiming to be antifascist. Perhaps you should get a dictionary and read the definition of fascism. Better yet, study the beginning of Nazi Germany and notice the similarities with Antifa. Study up on Antifa’s flag. How a group can call others fascists when they get their funding from a Nazi corroborator (Soros) is beyond me. If you still have doubts read one of their websites. I never saw so much propaganda BS in one place in my life. These people are nothing but brain dead anarchists. Half of them don’t even know or care what they are protesting (read rioting); they just want to destroy.

      • Former antifa and I can confirm this is true. I saw through it. If Antifa were truly concerned about the loss of liberties resulting from a hypothetical fascist government, one would think they should be concerned with the admitted, planned, systematic destruction of the “first world” in order to usher in a “New World Order”. And it wont be nice, like the Curtis Mayfield song. No, they want the government to decide if your family qualifies for a house or a car, and want “carbon quotas” on what each individual person consumes. They want to feed us poison, ban driving and until then, track us with a “gorgon stare” Wide Angle Persistent Stare (I guess “Skynet” was taken?) network of drones from above. Perhaps even more outrageously they want to “re-wild” the countryside and force us to live in crime-ridden, sardine packed cities (remember no single family homes allowed, carbon footprint spiel)

        If antifa gave a damn about freedom, liberty, or the chance for their kids to ever have anything, they would abandon their cause today and support Trump or any other anti-Globalist politician. Western democracy and capitalism may not be perfect but its what we have and its a whole lot better than being under the globalist jackboot. None of the things I said they want to do are conspiracy theories or made up. For any antifa who are suspicious but read this far, view this for yourself and decide. Don’t read some liberal clowns interpretation that the UN is harmless, go straight to the UN website and publications are there named Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030. These together describe a sort of eco-friendly global communism that if realized, would be the end of all human freedom, forever. These people pushing this agenda are the biggest threat humanity’s ever faced, far worse than the nazis were.

        • One million thumbs up brother! Thank you for coming back to the side of America! You show you are wide awake with your knowledge of Agenda21.

    • I was once one of them
      . It isn’t as righteous as it sounds…
      Sure sometimes we did go after real hard core nazis. But I cannot and will not stand behind a group that attacks people who are concerned that GLOBALISM WILL HURT US ALL! (that is, patriots and conservatives) The globalist, super rich, technocrat class wants to basically bring in a form of “eco-communism” to save the planet. This is not a conspiracy theory, it is admitted fact, just not in those words. If you listen to the media, 95% of Trump supporters are Jew hating KKK members but, in reality, they are quite diverse. They see patriotism as defending their nations sovereignty, to prevent being oppressed by unelected globalist bureaucrats… Not as a mechanism to oppress people of colour! The globalists’ plan for us will hurt every shade of human that isn’t in the top 1%.
      A morally correct cause such as protecting the inner city residents from the local nazi gang, can easily turn into a morally bankrupt, thought-police militia, if they are fed the right propaganda and are CONVINCED Trump Supporters are all violent nazis.
      I saw through the cult like mentality and while I am not racist and still think ethno-fascism is a terrible idea, economic nationalism just might be a decent bulwark against the imposition of globalist influence on the USA. If only Canada had a chance, for now we’re stuck with Turdeau!

    • Antifa uses those words as a cover for anti-American anarchy. “-isms” and “-phobias” are just people who disagree with the far Left agenda.

    • The Antifa are fighting for COMMUNISM, the most blood-thirsty ideology in all of human history. They are not Batman and Robin. They’re the Khmer Rouge.

    • And you Sir are one FUCKING MORON. This group is a bunch of Racist, Anti-Semitic Jew Hating Thugs. They are the Nazi Brown Shirts and Red Guards all wrapped into one. You must be a Marxist. No room for Commies in this Country. Better find a new home Sonny before someone hurts you. Communist are all Murdering Scum.. Why don’t you join them, if you have the guts, so you can get put into the hospital or the morgue. You are not sane.

    • You don’t know anything about the history of Antifa if you’re equating it with justice in any way. Their only goal is anarchy which is the complete opposite of justice. Do a little research because you’re whacko loony toons… They are the enforcement arm of the communist party originally from Russia during the 30’s sent to fight the Brown Shirts in Germany and who stayed to keep the East Germans oppressed under communist rule for 50 years. Anyone who is saying and believing this is “just a bunch of unorganized groups” has been fooled by the globalist MSM once again. You can bet Soros is funding the vast majority of their signs and stickers and so forth…

  2. Gregory do you honestly believe Soros is a good man ,he is the ultimate evil ugly devil and has to be stopped lets do it people

    • Gyorgy Schwartz, a.k.a. George Soros, is a Hungarian Nazi war criminal, who at age 15 robbed his fellow Jews as they were being taken off to the Concentration camps. He is wanted for war crimes and economic crimes in Russia and Hungary.

  3. Is it nationally recognized as a terrorist organization, or just in NJ? A link to the DHS page would be nice.

  4. I was part of this “group” (if you can call it that, its very decentralised) for a few years and I recently told them I’m done. I can’t stand behind attacking people for their viewpoints and they also have a very cult like specific set of ideals you must agree with or you too are a “nazi”. When I got involved, I was young ans addicted to drugs with no sense of purpose. Nazis (yes actual neo Nazis not patriotic citizens) had organized in a nearby city and ended up murdering a few innocent people. They were poised to expand into our city and we organized and the “core” antifas (15 or so of us) ended up rounding up nearly a thousand people and we shut those fools down. Mind you, I am still proud of that particular action. I’m not a racist but I have come to believe that anarchism just doesn’t work. I have become a lot more conservative watching our society be destroyed and not finding work and not being covered by pogey while I see my neighbourhood become flooded with rude, loud, entitled, govt sponsored refugees. Its enough to shake an antifa’s head up and say “see enough trouble with that narrative they’re feeding you yet?”.

    politicians like Trump get flak fot trying to stand up to globalism, which, to me, seems like a far greater threat than even the Nazis were. If “antifa” were concerned about loss of liberties under a fascist dictatorship, they’d shit when they saw what the technocrat class has in store for us!

    • Glad to have you back…you really need to get with someone, IMORTANT, and tell this story. You know a whole lot more then this comment, do the right thing 🙂

    • You are so right. Globalists see themselves as the Morlocks, and we are all Eloi. They see us as nothing more than a resource, like cattle or ore deposits.
      My experience with Leftists protesters was when I was a young man in college and decided to attend a pot rally. I had been led to believe they were interested the agricultural, medicinal, and nutritional benefits, which interested me at the time. The event was billed as a rally to support the political lobbying of their activists, as well as raising awareness of the benefits. What I found was a bunch of Anarchists smoking pot (that didn’t bother me), yelling “F@$K the cops!” and stirring up the crowd with angry rhetoric and thinly veiled threats. They didn’t give a damn about the cause they claimed to support, they just cared about trying to whip up a bunch of idealistic young people into doing something stupid.

    • And I call BS on your story.
      The old “convert” story – who by the way try to make very sure that the “Neo Nazi” story is reinforced. Kinda the “why would I lie now that I converted” game. And the big claim of oh only fifteen of you rounded up thousands upon thousands. Yeah righ… BS

      Pray please tell
      1) Who these supposed Neo Nazi’s was
      2) Where this event took place
      3) Who were the people killed. There must be records of murder right? And if Neo Nazis killed a “number of innocent’s” you can bet your last Dollar the Fake Media would be all over it, with even the slightest of evidence… and run the story for months

      • How much did you get paid to troll comments. If you go to their website it specificially states they are here to take out a duly elected President & Vice President. They’ve disrupted free speech rallies. If you are offended by some speech, fine…I’m offended by yours. Suck it up. We are still a Free country. If you belong to any organization that is there to take down a President who was elected in our republic democracy you are part of the problem. Even if his story is inaccurate you can’t dismiss the fact that the hate is coming from paid protesters. If you truly believed in this you’d do it for free, right? YOU are the fascists that we were warned about. YOU. Vote in the next election to take out a President. Patriots are white/black/red/brown/yellow. You’ll NEVER convince the populous we are all for white supremacy..nationalists are the opposite of globalists. YOU are a globalist and you are supporting them. Nationalist is LOVE OF COUNTRY WITH BORDERS. What’s wrong with that? You are so brainwashed.

        • Cultural Marxists/COMMUNISTS, should NOT HAVE FREE SPEECH OR LEAGALLY BE ALLOWED TO HAVE ENEMY, UNAMERICAN, SEDITIOUS, anti-White, RACIST, ORGANIZATIONS IN AMERICA. We should get creative at EXPOSING (((THEM))) and go after THEIR “free speech” as viciously and violently as they wish to destroy ours and our nation! They will not respect nor understand anything else but brute force. They have been edJEWcated by criminal, Bolshevik, (((ENEMIES WITHIN))) who must also be properly dealt with. If we don’t properly root them out of every influential institution they have insidiously infiltrated, we, and all of humanity can expect TOTAL ENSLAVEMENT and perversion of every wholesome, natural, and healthy inclination, including the natural will and RIGHT TO RACIAL PRESERVATION, no matter which race you are! Which (((they))) have planned, and tirelessly worked together towards for centuries. Read some REAL HISTORY which (((they))) didn’t write or control.

          • What in the hell are you rambling about? You were so scattered I can’t tell which side of the spectrum you are on but since you think violence is the answer I am betting you are just another antifa idiot.

    • Look into what Jesus says. Just pick it up and read.
      I appreciate your thinking and seeking.
      The old movie about sergeant York, starting Gary Cooper, is not preachy.
      But it makes you think.

    • You are so full of it. Of the ignorant yokels reading this are eating it up. But as far as core ideals that claim Antifa must adhere to…not being a flaming racist was one you found to be “cult-like”. That you just to go with Trump to fight “globalism”…basically siding with racists, and …ignorantly siding with globalists. Trump doesn’t care who he takes money from…read the freakin news. He’s taken money from the russians that much is proven. He’s taken money from the Saudis…. and as much as he complains about the, he’s taking money from the Chinese. Define what a ‘globalist’ is and does. Worry about the techocrats?…. what, are you twelve?………technocrats aren’t anything. And fascism is here. The GOP isn’t amending the tax laws for the middle class nor was their efforts about Obamacare about fixing it or replacing it…it was all about promises they made to their biggest campaign contributors. Watch, …the tax reform will be about benefitting the most richest people. And yes, bit by bit the fundamental liberties in the US Constitution are being taken away. Most of the people here worry more about their guns being taken. But first they take the freedom of the press, and now they’re limiting the right to vote…and freedom of assembly. Trump’s DOJ just demanded the IP addresses of all the people who visited an anti Trump website…. NO OTHER PRESIDENT HAS EVER DONE THAT. Trump had Kris Kobach demand all the info of every registered voter in the US. This is not about voter fraud it’s about creating a One Party state.
      What are the technocrats…. they’re nothing. They’re functionaries. Seriously man. You don’t get it. And I’m assuming you never did.

          • The poor people in Belgium, why did your mom have to make you move there and ruin the lives of the people there. Funny though that you say you are in Belgium and yet you whine about things here. Are you really that homesick?

            Come on, you cannot even come up with your own put down? You had to piggy back on the one I used? Are you that lazy that it would tax your brain to think of something? Did your spell checker not pick up your spelling error or are you too lazy to fix them too? Or do you really think you spelled the word correctly? Tell your mommy to feed you a snack, your brain needs energy to think of something that isn’t piggy backing on others.

            Well, I know it is getting past your bedtime and you need to be tucked in so I will let you know that I have moved on from this post because you aren’t even a little bit funny or worthy of my time. So bye. You’ve been dismissed so run along home.

          • Your feeble attempts at wit and childishly weak ad hominem attacks are hardly worth the bother. I’ll leave you to wallow in delusions of your own grandeur.

        • This is true. I have no argument with your statement. The head of the NSA is one of the creepiest guys I’ve ever heard speak. He testified before a Senate Subcommittee when Apple was first refusing to give the NSA a ‘back door’ to people’s Apple products. Gen. Hayden I believe his name is… he seemed to feel justified to have access to everything on everyone. The only we (the public) stopped him was by hammering on the politicians to let them know we’d remember if they didn’t put pressure on reigning guys like him in.

    • They attack anyone that do not agree with their Marxist beliefs. They are Thugs shutting down free speech with violence. They are RACIST AND ANTI-SEMITIC JEWISH HATERS. THEY ACT LIKE NAZIS AND RED GUARD TOGETHER. These POS are Terrorist They use violence. If you support them, you are a COMMUNIST TERRORIST, A RACIST JEW HATER. Majority they attack are not White Supremacist..

      • The translation is for White Supremacists.

        I was saying Antifa attacked a group of people that are singled out for not being terrorists. That the victims of antifa are most commonly normal people that antifa and others have falsely labeled as white supremacists.

  5. Wrong. Antifa are communists using fascist tactics, as were the Antifa of the ’30s who were a paramilitary force created by communists to fight Hitler’s brownshirts.

  6. Jersey rally was march 25th an it wasnt a fight they came we escorted them through the crowd til pd encircled an swiftly bounced them off our permitted areaa thankfully jersey has already designated them as terrorists now when will they do the same with bam blm an multiple others who stifle our basic freedoms an cause rot an destruction and when the hell will people wake up an RISE UP

  7. They are not inciting violence to just “far right extremist”, they are inciting violence to all the right leaning people.

    • It’s not a left-right paradigm, or even political affiliation. They oppose anyone who stands in their way.

  8. Soros is funding Antifa??? What a laugh. Antifa is largely a cultural movement. The people who participate are not on any list or phone tree. That’s like saying Soros is funding hipsters or the movement of guys with beards. Where do you send a check? Come on, use your heads. That myth that Soros is behind it is perpetrated by the same paranoid dimwits who believe that Antifa (largely comprised of anarchists) are part of a vast collectivist conspiracy and is fighting to promote a ‘One World Government’….as if anarchists ever believed in ANY government.

  9. Sean Adl-Tabatabai please post the link to an official post on the DHS web site that shows this is for real & not fake news. I want it to be true but would be upset if it is fake… Thank you.

  10. those fuck tards are not anarchists, they are vermin that need to follow their own advice. Hypocrites they are, hopefully the DHS provides the public all kinds of intelligence about who these twats get their money from + international associations.

  11. wonder WHY it took this long to declare those SCUMBAG THUGS AS TERRORIST?
    and DON’T FORGET BLM THEY ALL NEED OUT DOWN LIKE A RABID DOG.

  12. Antifa, libtraitor scum MUST be gunned down in their streets. Their families (including children,) need to be exterminated in order to fully cut the cancer out, once and for all.

  13. Where is the link that states this? Just visited the DHS site and don’t seem to be able to find this. Thanks in advance.

  14. This group is like Spanky and our gang. Cool little black covers on their face. I wonder if they have tree houses, too…..

  15. Just learn from the history.
    Look into it for roots of black/red flag, check info about Spanish Anarchists from times of Spanish Civil War 1936 , read about mass murders made by them on catholic priesthood and everyone else who they claimed as “bourgeoisie” , “enemy of people”.Wearing tie was enough be killed by “so called”
    republicans ( commies and anarchs in fact)

  16. Need to put Geo. Soros against the wall and shoot this traitor now …no mercy in killing him this traitor.

          • Oh, I know. I am intimately familiar with my friends Mr. Colt, Smith, Wesson, even Sharps and Savage.

            When they come for my yard jockey and cigar store Indian, I’ll introduce them….

  17. This ANTIFA Group also targets peaceful, law abiding Trump supporters. They try to stop any conservative from speaking their mind or having a platform on which to do it. They are suppressing the free flow of information in this country and I didn’t see anything in this post that suggests that Dept of Homeland Security intend to protect our Constitutional Rights of 1)Freedom of Speech, 2)Freedom of Assembly, 3) Freedom to Peacefully Protest, or just have a 4) plain show of support for our President. All 4 of the things I just mentioned will cause these ANTIFA to come and act out violently to try to prevent any of that from occurring because they do not approve of it. That is exactly what happened at Berkeley.
    When Trump supporters are dressed normally and peacefully marching in just their MAGA hats and T-shirts, it is obvious that they did not come to engage in any sort of violence. ANTIFA comes out in black clothing, black masks and head covering, carrying pepper spray, bricks, bike locks, tent posts, feces and urine in water balloons to throw on people and then pepper spray Trump supporters in the eyes for no other reason than they are within reach, then YES, They are the fascist DOMESTIC TERRORISTS and MUST be arrested. They are suppressing our Constitutional Rights. They are violently assaulting non-combatants and they should be rounded up and arrested. People in masks, hiding their identity usually don’t have good intentions and masks. etc should not be allowed on public streets or anywhere near where people are peacefully assembling for a POSITIVE reason, and they should be stopped and removed from the area for that reason alone not to mention all the other criminal acts.

    The Headline of this article is untrue and is very misleading and doing a disservice. People should be contacting the DHS & their local Police Departments and demand that they protect the Constitutional Rights of peaceful, law abiding citizens.

    • The (((government))) and (((media))) ARE COMPLICIT WITH THE CRIMINALITY OF ANTIFA. THEY ARE PART OF (((cause))) of the problem because (((they))) WANT THEIR NEW WORLD ORDER enough to PAY FOR AGENT PROVOCATEURS IN ACADEMIA TO ORGANIZE THESE UNPRINCIPLED AND UNAMERICAN RETARDS TO DESTROY OUR NATION, AND ULTIMATELY ENSLAVE ALL OF HUMANITY. (((Those))) behind organizing these SJW retards should be hunted down and EXPOSED and properly dealt with.

  18. Attention antifa:

    REAL AMERICANS are sick and tired of you terrorists. Keep doing what you’re doing and YOU WILL BE in our sights! You AND blm are on the verge of starting a civil war that YOU WILL NOT WIN! YOUR BLOOD will be flowing in the gutters, not ours!

  19. Are you sure this is the DHS? They don’t have DHS in their url, and even if you click on the seals, you don’t return to the main DHS site.

  20. One huge problem here. Antifa are not anarchists, they are commies and socialists. Anarchists want no government while Antifa wants all powerful government (tyranny). Even the media can’t get it correct!

  21. there is nothing supporting this claim that Antifa has been declared a terrorist organization.

    Welcome to my news site avoidance list.

  22. Simple look at history. We already knew they were terrorists in our area, and performed our Duty, as now in hope, the rest of Amerca will do. Antifa is not Americans, and know that an American has the duty to defend our God, Country, Friends, and Family at any cost. They did not even show up in Whitefish Montana, we were waiting, no show. ANTIFA: originally known in its native Germany as Antifaschistische Aktion, was founded as the militant wing of the German Communist Party. In the 1930s, it was known to be every bit as violent as its Nazi opponents. After World War Two, Antifa groups re-formed in Germany to collaborate with Soviet communists on subduing the country and rooting out its past to create a new socialist utopia. They were active in Communist-controlled East Germany until that country’s Stalinist leadership got fed up, broke the groups up, and sent many of their leaders to gulags.
    When not the subject of national news attention, Antifa groups are even more wantonly violent. In 2012, as many as 18 Antifas from Bloomington, Indiana, the University of Indiana’s college town, busted into a family restaurant in Tinley Park, Illinois, a southern suburb of Chicago, because they heard a meeting of a tiny organization called the Illinois European Heritage Association.
    Unprovoked, the men smashed up the restaurant and attacked diners and employees, including those with absolutely no connection to the European Heritage Association lunch with clubs, crowbars, and batons. Only five of the assailants were ever caught and charged. Not one snitched on his fellow Antifas, and all served several years in prison. They are still regarded as heroes in the Antifa community, known as the Tinley Park Five. Antifa will be destroyed and obliterated, enemies of America.

  23. They still aren’t being targeted for harassment at airports like patriots are. It’s still a very one-sided attack on white patriots but not white socialists and anarchists for some reason that makes no sense. Who’s the worst threat?

  24. Sounds like the FBI knows who these terrorists are, who employs them and where they live.
    Since their actions amount to racketeering, why not charge the leaders with RICO violations? It appears many need to be “woke” into the reality of cooperative society.
